. standard B, the said volved by means ot 2 i stanno ving all splitting'of the Wood, no matter what kind may be used.

The table H is arranged directly below the cutter, and is supported or mounted upon ay standard, I, the vertical edges of which work in vertical dovetail grooves in the front edges of the semi-tubular standard B. Journaled in suitable bearings, J, secured on the face of the table-standard, is a horizontal shaft, K, which is provided with Ia pinion, L, which engages with a stationary rack, M, formed upon the shaft being rocked or rea hand-lever, N, within easy reach of the operator. By elevating the lever N thepinion L will travel up the stationary rack upon the standard and carry the table up with it, as is evident. In order` to counterbalance the weight of the table and standard and devices attached thereto and enable the table to be elevated smoothly and steadily, I secure on the shaftlj( a pulley or sheave, P, and attach thereto the rope of a depending counterbalancing-weight, Q. By this means a very heavytable may be controlled and manipulated with ease, the Weight serving to materially assist the operator in elevating the table, the weight itself being elevated by the A falling of the table.

Extending transversely of the standard B, immediately in the rear of the table-standard I, is a rod or bolt, R, against which the heads of the bolts S S are adapted to strike when the table reaches the limit of its travel either way. These bolts S are secured adjustably in a vertical slot, e, in the table-standard, the Shanks of the bolts being preferably flattened to prevent them turning in the slot. By moving the bolts 'up or down in the slot itis evident that thc'vertical movement of the table may be regulated to suit the character of work to be performed. W'hen thev table is at its lowest point, the upper bolt Will rest upon the barR, and when it is at its highest point the lower bolt will contact with the said bar.

The letter T designates au abutting plate bolted adjustably to thetable H by means of bolts f f, plate. In the front edge of this abuttingplate is formed a deep V-shaped notch or depressiomwhich is bounded by a vertical flange, g, this flange serving to assist in holding the rosette-block steadily while the cutter is oper- In order to hold the block the table While the cutter is ating upon it. down closely to operating upon it, I form upon 'the bearingaces of the V-sliaped ange g short sharp the lower sides of which are Vheu the block is pressed abutting-plate,v the lu gs h lugs or teeth h, beveled, as shown. into the notch in the which pass through slots in the said cess against the flange g and securely hold it there While being operated upon by the cutter, I employ a lever, U, which is pivotally secured to a slotted plate, V, this plate being bolted adjust-ably upon the table to one side of the abutting-plate, as shown in Fig, 3. I preferably notch this lever at lc and rivet on its upper side a small projecting plate, Z, as an additional security against displacement of the block While being cut. ,By making the abutting-plate and the lever U adjustable upon the table it is `evident that the parts may be readily adapted to' suit different sizes of blocks.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination of the holder E, provided with an extension, E', the cutter F, provided with the vertical side extensions, e e, and the vertical slot b, the block or section G, and the securing-bolt a, passing through the said block -G and slot b and into the extension E', the extensions e e extending up on opposite sides of the holder E aud serving to prevent lateral vibration of the cutter, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the standard B, provided with vertical Ways 'or grooves and a stationary rack, M, ot the table-standard and table, the former having bolted to its face a bearing, J, the horizontal shaft K, journaled in said bearing and provided with a pinion which engages with the said-rack M, an operating-lever, and counterbalanciiig-weight and pulley, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the standard and the transverse rod R, secured upon the standard, of the vertically-movable tablestandard provided with a vertical groove, and the bolts S S, secured adjustably in the saidl groove and adapted -to alternately contact with the said rod R, substantially as described.

4. The combination, adjustable,abutting-plate provided with a V- shaped notch in its faces of the said notch being provided with beveled lugs l1,

the adjustable plate V, secured to the table, and the lever pivote/dto this plate, substantially as specified.

In testimony whcreofl affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
